Be nice to not have to edit them but actually work.

Thanks bro, I'm really hoping I can use created players in CCM cause co-op franchise with my bro using CAPS as us is the only way I play.

Great news with this patch.

# 223 H_Zilla @ 10/03/12 10:50 PM

I can finally change schemes. Thanks EA

# 224 reverend_heat @ 10/03/12 10:56 PM

Thanks to the devs for listening to us, much appreciated!

I've been wondering about this myself and man what a way for me to celebrate my birthday! October 16th will be even better now, thanks EA!

I agree but this will be the best we have right now.

I personally haven't run into this problem. I traded for Randy Moss in one of my franchises and Michael Jenkins is already wearing #84, so they put Moss in #83 (which is extremely weird for me to see).

Can you expand on what fixes you will not be able to take advantage of if you do not reset your Connected Careers besides the custom rosters?

# 228 Dirty Turtles @ 10/03/12 11:08 PM

Game changer.

# 229 NFLfan80 @ 10/03/12 11:10 PM

So does this mean I can now control all 32 teams in an offline CCM as a coach?

I used to do the created player thing too, had a lot of fun with it. Hopefully it's included as part of the 'customised rosters in CCM' addition.

Over the last 4 or 5 years we've stuck with the actual rosters mostly but tweaked 1 or 2 players here and there, normally to give the FS more pace as one of my co-op teammates (who plays FS) gets burnt far too often in Cover 2 or Man Coverage. Funny, we've been playing for donkeys years but still he gets suckered in by double moves or playaction

# 231 davep @ 10/03/12 11:12 PM

Very happy play now and ccm will be similar!! I'm satisfied.

What on earth makes you say that? I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but there's nothing in this news to suggest that is or isn't the case.

# 233 michaelhalljr @ 10/03/12 11:22 PM

Great job EA!! Awesome list!! Just please remember for M14 to bring back 32 team control, probably too big a fix for this year, still great job, thanks for listening!!

haha yeah my brother has a CAP strong safety and im a CAP ROLB cause we both play those positions iin real life here in Australia so we like to try and emulate what we do on the field in madden. We are meticulous to the point that we have to have our gear as accurate as possible too. I wear a schutt DNA with a full cage...things of that nature.
but like your mate, my brother often gets burnt deep too so i just send him on blitzes of flat zones haha.

I've been using a CAP version of myself since it was possible in madden. Would hate to see something so intrinsic for many players to be taken out but by the sounds of this patch it most likely will be in it. I just sent Emmdotfrisk a message also to confirm it.

# 235 ChopperDave6609 @ 10/03/12 11:23 PM

Of course this is announced the day I return 13 to Gamefly.

However, I'll keep an eye on the response to the patch here after its release, and maybe I'll buy it then.

Oh shoot no 32 control in the patch, oh well.

# 237 bigbob @ 10/03/12 11:25 PM

One thing I'm curious about, and this is because my brother lives in another city.

What about co-op in an online franchise? My one buddy has told me constantly that it's already possible, I don't think it is but I've never had the opportunity to try it.

Well, do you think there is any other reason, though?

If there is a better reason, I'm all ears.

I don't have any insider info, but I don't see anything else to the contrary.

You are entitled to disagree.

# 239 Rawdeal28 @ 10/03/12 11:30 PM

FINALLY.........................

HALLELUJAH!!!

lol...thanks for that.

Jokes aside, reason for what? I'm confused is all. Reason for this being patched in? If that's the case, one could just as easily make the argument that this being patched shows that EA is simply being reactive and could have easily already had this in already.

Now, I'm not saying that's the case either. My point is that there is equal evidence (read: none) to support any assumption someone already held. This info doesn't change anything in that regard. IMO, it's good news on it's own...no need to reach.

I'm simply curious to know what there is about this news that led you to your prior conclusion, is all.
